[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] 33 reportedly killed in Lebanon; media yawns

From The Daily Star (Lebanon):

At least 32 Nusra Front gunmen were killed in east Lebanon in a weekend ambush sprung by Hezbollah fighters, a senior security source said Monday, adding that a member of the Lebanese group was also killed in ensuing fighting.

The ambush took place early Saturday in Wadi al-Jamala, on the outskirts of Nahle, a rugged mountainous area along the porous border between Lebanon and Syria, the source said.

The gunmen were making their way into Lebanon through an illegal border crossing, the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.

The bodies of the slain Nusra Front fighters are in Hezbollah's possession, the source added.

The clash was reported in other Lebanese media but not the casualty count.

But why should the mainstream media mention the spillover of Syria's civil war onto Lebanese territory? Can't be that important.
